Chaplin (1992)
Country: GB/FR/IT/JAP/US
Technical: col 143m
Director: Richard Attenborough
Cast: Robert Downey Jnr, Dan Aykroyd, Geraldine Chaplin, Paul Rhys
Synopsis:
A framing device of the star presenting his manuscript to his editor provides the pretext for an account of Chaplin's early life in poverty in London and his extraordinary journey from theatrical performer to Hollywood star, director and producer.
Review:
Too reverent, and inevitably formless, filming of the maestro's autobiography and elements from David Robinson's biography, but revealing of his extraordinary working methods and with a dazzling star performance.
